A RoDY OF West Point cadets under charge
OF officers rode into the camp of the New
York militia at Peekskill, the other day, and
surprised their hosts with some specimens OF
cavalry drill aud daring horsemsnship.
"Whst are we 7'' shouted Cadet Hartman,
of Pennsylvania, as they dismounted. "We
arc the people ~ replied Cadet Howe, OF
Texas, and the class cheered-a pithy ques.
ton and reply. The officers OF the army OF
these states are taken from the people by a
fair and rigid system OF selection that tax es
no account Whatever OF birth or wealth.
They are OF the people, and the people are
proud OF them, for though there may he
room for Improvement in this system of
offering our army, yet it is at least 50 far
superior to that in general use abroad, and 10
thoroughly ignores sristocrscy or wealth or
birth, that West Point and Annapolis will
long remain entrenched in popular favor.

THE New York Times thinks that the
action OF the emperor Of q ermany in sending
u, 600 and two gold watches to the families
aud the survivors OF the life saving crew Of
Dam Neck Mills will inspire every life sav-
ing crew along the coast with q desire to
emulate the example OF the men thus sig.
nsily rewarded by crowned head. Now We
do not think the American sailor cares
whether he is rewarded by q crowned or an
uncrowned head. The reward gains in dig
nifty and value by the fact that i, comes from
the head OF great nation, because il IS sup.
posed to represent the gratitude OF people,
but the Times implies that the life savers
should feel highly honored that Emperor
William condescends to thank them sub
stantially for their heroic efforts TO save the
lives Of his subjects Their galIsntry does
not often receive SO hearty and public Q
recogn milton, and the emperor has given q
good example for other governments, but
Americans should not place higher value on
gifts simply because they cpne from ~

street Carr Run by Electricity.

There are now in the United States more
than thirty street railroads running by elec-
uicity, the oldest having been in operation
less than three years, and the recent additions
to the list having bsen made st the rate OF
one q week. In no instance has q return
been made to horses after electricity has been
introduced, although In many instances
the car companies kept their stables and
their horses for some time In order to be
prepared for failure Of the new power. The
cost, ss shown by the figures upon sixteen
roads, proves that electricity can do for seven
cents what costs eleven cents by horses.
The chief cities where electric roads are
now running are Baltimore, Md. Port Huron,
Mich; Windsor, Canada; Detroit, Mich, Ap-
pleton, Wis; Scranton, Pc Denver, Col
Montgomery, Ala; Kansas City: Orange, n.
j.: Richmond, Va; Mansfield, o.: St Paul,
Mimi; and Newport, Ky. The list OF towns
where electric roads are under contract is
almost without end. One Of our foremost ex.
perts does not hesitate to predict that within
ten years such 4 thing as . horse car line W i'll

The Hot Waves.

The New York Herald raises the ques-
ti0ns where and how the recent hot waves
originated. They do not come from the
tropical ocean because the heat rays that
strike the ocean surface do not accumu.
late, but are soon dispersed by wave action,
and 1t takes as much heat to raise the TEN.
perature Of pound of water one de-
gree a. to raise that Of nine pounds of
iron one degree. The Herald thinks that
It Is more likely that the waves emanate
from the interior Of this continent, as the
mercury has been in the nineties over the
Northwest when only 50 on the gulf coast.
Although the sun has been receding from
the earth since June ~, and the earth
reached the point in her orbit most remote
from the sun on the I'd of July, the tenn
perature has steadily increased. This is said
to be owing to the fact that the long days
enable the earth to absorb more heat than
can be thrown of at night, and from this
1t Is argued that the hot waves are, gener.
Ated In the interior Of the continent by the
daily accumulation of heat in the soil.
Water vapOr in the air prevents the escape
OF this heat that would take place in a
more dry climate. In humid atmosphere
the soil temperature is always higher, and
Stuart, the traveller on the Macquerie
river, in New South Wales, says " The
ground WAS almost molten surface, and
II match fell upon it, it Immediately ig-
nited." So when the air over the great
plains is unusually moist in the summer,
we may count on hot waves in abundance.

The Csuaty Convention.

I10 Couoty CooVeUl1oOs
The convention of the Democrats of the
county In this city yesterday was repre-
uontn&ive In character and much to be CON-
monded In its work. There were in the
convention some Of the trusted leaders Of
Ne party in the county whose heads have
grown gray doing faithful service for the
Democracy. There were also many Of the
younger element, who promise to become
t0wers Of strength for the party in the
future.
The contest for county commissioner
Vas spirited, but always dignifed. There
was no bossing, and events shaped
themselves according to the earnest
convictions of the delegates. The
party Is 70 be congratulated on the
excellent choice for county commissioner.
Mr.. Jacob w. Leber has been long and
fAithful worker in the party ranks in a
district overwhelmingly Republican, and
his popularity among his neighbors was
shown by the solid vote that he secured
from his vicinity. The estimable gentle
man who contested with him for the place
have nothing to reproach themselves with
h their canvasses. They did open and
honorable battle, and they accepted the re-
suit in the proper spirit. The choice for
auditor will also be received with popular
satisfaction, as Mr.. Bower stands high in
TIE vicinity Of his home as man of intel
Mgsnce and integrity.
The convention gave unqualified en-
d0rsement to the Cleveland administration,
and the unanimity of the adoption of the
resolution showed that the presidents
courageous work in his great office is fully
appreciated by the citizens of his party
faith in this county.
AL in all, it was convention of which
al Democrats had right to be proud; for
Il proved that in this minority county the
party is in excellent form and prepared to
DO battle for the Democracy with a spirit
that will perWiittn no obstacles to dampen

The Coke Strike.

The Miners Amalgamated association
and the Knights of Labor have both passed
resolutions in convention at ScOttdale that
the coke strike should terminate at once if
the operators will meet committees of the
men and arrange scale of wages. This is
accepted in the region as sure sign that
the strike is over, and it is at any rate good
evidence that temperate councils prevail

The Inter Ocean says there will be no
war. 1t admits we are not ready for war
but could get in fighting trim in a short
time, and thanks goodness" and ga pro
tective tariff for this ability to get ready.
1t admits that England is ''ready" and
has guns. And also vonchsafes the in
formation that if the free traders had
their way we would have to pay England
a pound of flesh for every pound of fish
in dispute.
Here is logic with vengeance. The
protective tariff has left us 'fnot ready
for war" though we have the assurance
that it enables Us to ''get ready" That
is we have the word of protectionist in
lieu of the "being prepared for war;"
argument with which we have so long
been RECALLED by ;he protectionists. In
our defenseless condition we have also
the comforting assurance that under free
trade we would be much worse off,.
But there is free trade England actu-
ally ready for war and disproving all the
theories of the protectionists While
here is protective tariff America unpre-
pared for war Facts and arguments are
sadly at variance here.
1t SCENE ''pauper labor" which we have
been fighting so hard against must be
pretty good thing, as here is England
with the pauper labor having us sadly at
a disadvantage though unburdened by
the pauper labor. 1t does seem though,
that the United States is in possession of
a very liberal share of the pauper labor
which protection was to make impossible.
And so all this protection which was
to make us perfectly independent in time
of war, is justified because few Cana
dian French in the United States got into
a row with Canada and thanks to protec-
ton, we have foundries in which we can
cast cannon with which to lick the Brit
ishers. This is the Inter Ocean idea
Because we have had protection We have
foundries, and because we have foundries
England is afraid of us and won't fight.
This is the Inter Ocean idea.

Now that Van Wyck has paid the
penalty Of daring to be independent of
the railroad corporations, he is charged
by their tools with being a demagogue.
a demsgogue acts so as TO further his
own personal ends. Van Wyck is too
bright q man not to perceive the
danger he was counting in standing
up as the peoples champion against the
railroads. There could not be much
demagogy in thus immolating himself
for thankless herd The people for
whom he dared the power of the railroad
companies, became the willing tools of
the companies to slaughter their friend
and are now ready to blacken his char
acter. The people would have rewarded
a demagogue and the fact that they cast
Van Wyck ont is proof that he was a
genuine friend.
